A leading nonprofit organization dedicated to developing, building, and managing affordable housing across California sought to modernize its IT infrastructure to better support over 1,000 employees and expand its impact. With a mission to provide housing alongside critical on-site support services, this organization plays a vital role in improving the lives of low-income individuals and families. The organization’s Technical Architect oversees the systems and infrastructure that power this essential mission.
The Challenge: Modernizing an Aging IT Infrastructure
To support ongoing growth and rising operational demands, the organization needed to transition away from a legacy data center and into a more scalable, secure, and manageable environment. Objectives included enhancing security and disaster recovery, simplifying daily IT operations, and reducing administrative burden—all with minimal disruption to staff and services.
The Solution: End-to-End Migration to Microsoft Azure
Following an online search and referral, the organization selected Xantrion for their strong reputation, values alignment, and local presence. Xantrion’s team brought a balance of deep technical expertise and collaborative project execution that aligned with the organization’s needs.
Xantrion led a full migration of the organization’s server workloads to Microsoft Azure, beginning with the configuration of a new cloud environment. Rigorous testing validated performance and security, and the migration was carefully executed during a controlled four-hour maintenance window. Throughout, Xantrion maintained a high level of communication and responsiveness, ensuring continuity and minimizing risk. Post-migration, they continued providing support to ensure the new environment remained stable, optimized, and in alignment with the client’s long-term IT strategy.
The Outcome: Enhanced Visibility, More Control, and Improved Resilience
The migration was executed smoothly and completed within the planned window. As a result, the organization now operates in a centralized, cloud-based infrastructure that offers greater visibility, control, and resilience. Security and disaster recovery have been strengthened, and internal IT operations have been streamlined—freeing resources for more strategic initiatives.
Summing up the engagement, the client’s Technical Architect shared: “Xantrion brought a strong combination of technical skill and collaborative execution.” Thanks to Xantrion’s support, the organization is now equipped with a secure, scalable foundation to carry its mission forward.
